Predictions.

For The ENQUIRER.
John Swinton In his paper saws the
people Of the state of Pennsylvania can
not escape responsibility for "conspir.
acy to murder, through their failure to
enforce the law protecting miners while
wo; king in the mines" A recent death
where the jury charges the mans death
as due to the neglect Of the company to
obey the provisions Of the law, togethe er
with failure of the officers Of the law to
prosecute. was the immediate occasion
Of the grave accusation. \
II would seem as il the only court of
appeal open to the poor nowadays is
that court whose DEGREES drowned
Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea
and, at a dae comparatively recent. and
BY the inaittion Of a severe penalty,
whose instsllments are still maturing,
reminued this nation that the black
man had rights which the white man
must respect. Let Pennsylvania be-
ware how she permits her case to get
into the courts.
The Tribune Republican justly char
acterizes the action Of the senate on the
trade dollar as steal. Under the cir
cumstances 1t is impossible to acquit the
senators Of being accomplices in the
theft. and, as no one mistakes them for
fools, sharers in the doodle. Whittier
are we drifting?
In answering this question some have
surmised that We are drifting to
bloody class conflict, with the million
aires aud their hired thugs on one side.
and the honest producers on the other.
But il we reflect on the rspidity, with
which the forces on one side are being
depleted, and the other reinforced, We
will soon dismiss such forebodings.
The inevitable drift and end of the pres
ent state Of things is to reduce the
thieves and tyrants Of monopoly TO the
fewest possible numbers, and the equal
and concurrent augmentation OF the des-
poiled aud oppressed. 'l
The senate, which passed without op-
position the bill to buy from the specu.
lators who hold these dollars. and at
their face value. may safely be trusted
TO defeat the inter-s state commerce bill.
Safely entrenched % these honorable
senators and jay Goulds are, behind the
bulwarks Of the constitution. it may be
mildly inferred I AT the prospect. for Q
reform looks rather dubious. ! In this
connection II may be remembered that
the French nation proclaimed repub-
lie about 100 years ago, and. in very
few years thereafter its representatives
were driven into the streets Of Paris at
the points Of only 100 bayonets under
the command Of Napoleon. and with the
general scclamations Of the people. .
To predict anything Of this nature q
in store for our republic may, BY some,
be looked upon - Anarchism; but II

Religion. politics and economies are
three distinct provinces. The methods

right to govern political affairs men
were to be guided. their opinions pro-
tected. their duties defined. Long years
of frapine and murder were the result.
To-day. looking back over the past we
see that the blame lies with the exorbi-

various churches. On them we lay the
moral responsibility; to them we ascribe
the criminslity. Although posing as the

THE PALA1lAL STEAMER
EMPIRE STATE BURNED, In
VOLvING A LOSS OF 5000
She Had Just Been BeGttCd for the
Excursion season - Marrow Ee-
cape Of Two Watchmen.

BRISTOL, r. l., May l6.-The steam
er Empire State, which has been lying
at the whalf Of the railroad company
during the winter past, was totally de-
stroyed by fire Saturday morning.
The fire was discovered about l o'clock.
When the firemen arrived the flames
had made such progress that it was
impossible to stay them, and the
steamer with all her furnishings aud
fixtures was destroyed. Two men who
were on board as shipkeepsrs barely
escaped with their lives, losing all
their effects. The fire caught forward
and the cause ia unknown. After the
hawsers had burned of the steamer
swung round into the river and sank
when a few rods from the wharf. Only
her smok estacks, walking beams and
flagstaffs remain above the water. The
Empire State was owned by Messrs.
Staples & Phillips, Of Taunton. d. N.
Fernall, aged sixty, one of the keep.
ers, was awakened from a sound sleep
in his room on the hurricane
deck by the smoke, aud aroused Thos.
Corners, the other keeper, aged So
years, and both climbed down half
naked to the water and got ashore in
a yawl that was moored alongside.
The flames we're devouring the
steamer 30 rapidly that Oonners was
scorched in escaping. Popular opinion
lays the FIRE to incendiary origin, but
there are no proofs OF anything Of the
sort. The flames appeared to rise
from all parts of this steamer at once.
The insurance papers are in the
steamers safe at the bottom Of the
river, but the amount for which she is
insured is believed to BIO about $40,-
COO. The loss, including the work
that has recently been put on her pre-
paratory to the excursion season, will
probably reach SlOO,OO0.

WHAT Is A COLD in the headp Medi-
cal authorities Say it is due to atmos-
pheric germs, uneven clothing of the
body, rapid cooling when in perepira-

cold in the head is a genuine rhinitis,

checked, is certain to produce catar-
rhal condition-for catarrh is essen

New YORK, March 5.-Rev. Henry

Between two and three o'clock yester-
day morning Mr.. Beecher awoke. lie
complained OF being sick. His wife arose
to get something for him To dr;nk. He
began to vomit freely, then lay lack upon
his pillow apparently exhausted. In a
short time he fell asleep. Mrs. Beecher
concluded that he would feel better in a
few hours.
The first breakfast bell rang but did not
awaken him The second bell also passed
UNDECIDED Mrs Beecher had been up inr
some time and did not wish tOdisturh him.
Becoming alarmed she made an attempt Ia
arouse him, but could not do -. She

ENGLAND'S SCHEME
To Iniure the American Flour Trade-An
Investigation.

New YORK, March 5.-The flour trade
is somewhat exercised over London pro-
iect Ia establish in Rio IaneirO flour
milling company with capital of C5oo,-
300 No flour is at present milled in Bra
zjl, for the excellent reason that there are
no mills there
American vessels from the ports of New
York, Baltimore and Richmond carry ont
cargoes of flour TO Brazil. The duty is IS
cents per barrel. The carrying of the
flour about pays the expenses of the out
ward voyage, and the profit of the trip is
made on the return cargo of coffee which
these vessels bring back.
Now, the English company proposes to
carry grain from the Argentine Republic
and Chill into Brazil and mill II there.
No duty is imposed on grain in that c0un-
try, and hence the American -four trade
wOuld find it impossible 10 compete with
the flour made on the spot 80 long as the
duty OF - cents per barrel is charged.
The effect Ou American commerce would
extend even further, however. The
steamships running between here and Bra
zi carry out more than two-thirds of
cargo of general merchandise, and always
have TO fill up with some thousands
of barrels of -four If they did not
carry the -four they would have to go
ont with half or two-thirds cargoeS,
and this would reduce their profits danger
Ously. The imports from Brazil are about
six times as large a. the exports thither,
and nearly all OF them that are imported
in large quantities such As coffee-Of which
the imports are about $50, 600, 900 year
rubber, nuts, and hides, are brought
into the United States absolutely free.
The -four men in this country think
that something ought to he done about
this matter. The English company is
offering stock in small shares at 10 pounds,
and is promising % to 30 per cent.
dividends. A committee of six members
of the trade from this city, Baltimore
and Richmond recently went TO see
Secretary Bayard and the Brazilian
Minister in regard to the subject. Secre-
tary Bayard asked them TO prepare statis-
tics and clear presentation of the queS-
ton, and will send 1t to Brazil by the
American Minister, who is now in Wash
ington, hut will return to his post about
the middle of next month. The Brazilian
Minister also promised TO give the matter
his consideration and to call the attention
of his Government TO it
